Flashing Itead Sonoff devices via original OTA mechanism!!! WORKS!!! After a lot of search, I could find this excellent project to change the firmware to this switch lx-wifi-03o without soldering nothing !!! [image] mirko/SonOTA Flashing Itead Sonoff devices with custom firmware via ori…

Are you using Tasmota or IFTTT? Both does not provide state- On/Off (Tasmota loose state after sometime and even with cosol command after restart

Using Tasmota and it works in HA perfectly even across a reboot. It does not lose it’s state.

It does not. There is enough dicussion on this. I use OTA method to flash my Sonoff POWs - it is on Tasmota v.5.9.1. See discussion here MQTT : How to Retain Sonoff Switch Setting across Restarts of HA I used Console” and entered the command " PowerRetain 1 " as suggested still after restart it is…

Here- this person also admit it. He is person advocating Tasmota big time [UPDATED: get HASSIO and Tasmotized Sonoff up and running!]

I’m using the broker in Hassio. I did have to set the power retain in the console. I have found that if my router restarts that the switch will turn on when it reconnects which is a nuisance but only happened once… but if I restart home assistant, it stays on or off and HA shows the correct state.
